Single Parameter of Inverse Proportion between Mortality and Age Could Determine All Mortality Indicators in the First Year of Life
Original language description
Mortality increase with age in adult population has been studied and modelled by many authors, but relatively little attention has been given to mortality decrease with age after birth. Data split in more detailed age categories can newly test mortality decrease with age. Age trajectories of mortality are studied in twenty age categories in the specific age interval 1 - 365 days. Four basic models mentioned in literature are tested here. The linear model and the linear model with the specific slope -1 in the log-log scale represent the most successful formalism. Mortality indicators describing the first year could be determined by a single parameter of the model with slope -1 in the log-log scale. All conclusions are based on published data which are presented as a supplement.
